Thanksgiving as fishermen depart from water logged Kerala villages

Melancholy reigns - The local are really grateful ..

Near Chengannur, locals line the streets and salute the fishermen heroes as they pack their boats and leave. Salute to them! ❤

The locals have mixed feelings - of gratefulness, melancholy and sadness of separation of their loved ones from them, of deep grief and sadness .. The fishermen folk in all humility and feeling of sadness are in turn grateful to the public of Chengannur for giving them a chance to serve them and be of use to society.  

Really heart touching - no words to say how thankful they are  ..

The real heroes of the mission and the real patriots - the fishermen living in the coastal villages . Their selfless service helped save thousands of lives and rescue almost half of the million displaced people who are still in the camps .. The thanksgiving should not end here, this is just the beginning .. 

It is now the bounden duty of mainstream Kerala society to include these oft neglected sections of society in all our decisions on health, education, employment and infrastructure spending, they are more than our countrymen, they are our own dear beloved brethren and siblings !! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
